[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In Fairfax county the 14th highest salary is for the Police Chief at $276,374. The Sheriff makes $259,159. The 3 Assistant Chiefs make $257,884. There are 8 Deputy Chiefs that all make $233,908. The Chief Deputy Sheriff makes $233,234. Then there another 4 Deputy Chiefs making $222,770. Next there are 2 Majors making $222,770 and another 12 making $212,162. Then come 4 Deputy Sheriffs making $211,599. Next are 10 more Majors making $202,059. That’s the point where I stopped checking the list.

None of the above includes overtime. You only find out about massive overtime when a reporter gets wind of it. There was an InsideVOVA piece in 2017 that showed mostly firefighters earning an extra $100,000 - $150,000 in overtime, but there were a few police officers in the $73,000 - $83,000 range.

In Montgomery County the Police Chief is the 2nd highest paid employee at $258,000. Of the highest 100 paid employees there were 24 members of the police department.

This is what I call the blue collar secret - lots of jobs the salaried professional class look down on do the same or even better as their white collar equivalents due to overtime that like you said is rarely disclosed. I taught in NYC in 2014-2016 and back then some teachers with 10 YOE were making $175K all in with overtime and summer work (aka working normal hours for most business people). Police in my small hometown make $300K+ with overtime. And I’m not talking crazy overtime either. I think there was some DC cop who hit $400/500 with some insane overtime hours though. It was in an article from a few years ago - maybe WaPo?[/quote]
